Conspiracy theorists say Structural and Civil Engineers haven't come out to support Jones paper because:They can't believe the government would do this
They don't know it exists
They fear being killed by the government
They fear losing their jobs
They can't believe the government would do this
This assumes they think the government did this. Why would the scientists jump to the conclusion that the government was responsible? I know why a conspiracy theorist would but not a scientist. There are many other possibilities a smart scientist could think of, like Saddam working with Al Qaeda and hiring people to install the bombs. What about another country like North Korea? It could even be a home grown terrorist. You know, like some psycho angry with the government over a conspiracy to murder innocent Americans.
They don't know it exists
This could be true. The Scholars have been very busy enlisting politicians and running Zogby polls. They have little time to do things like reach out to civil engineers. Why would they do that? The most they would get from that is a critique of his paper anyway. They'll learn about it as they see the "Bombs Blew up the Twin Towers" tee shirts and bumper stickers anyway.
